Chadwick Ivester & Family

Former Rodeo Cowboy

I am a former rodeo cowboy; I competed for 8 years on the IPRA circuit. (I finished 9th in the world in IPRA Bareback Bronc Riding- 1997; 15th in world in 1998). The LORD plucked me from the fires of hell after He saved me from a horrific rodeo crash (July 4th, 1992). I have never been the same since! The LORD, by His sovereign grace, saved me from: drunkenness, sexual immorality, cursing, lying, stealing, & idolatry. . . just to name a few sins; for Christ came to save His people FROM THEIR SINS (Matt 1:21). I am married to Tina. We have four lovely children: Anna-Grace, John-Winston, Isaac Gill,  and Elisha Paul. I received my Theological education from Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute (2001) in Hendersonville, NC. I have written for the Biblical Recorder (SS Commentary- Summer & Fall 2005). I love to write! I am the senior (only) pastor of Sand Hill Baptist Church in Kershaw, SC. I began my duties in February 2006.

    My comments.. simply this AMEN ad infinitum…..

    Just this morning while preparing a Woman’s Bible study on the book of Colossians… I did not get past Verse 1.. the Lord led me to lay the foundation for Pauls authority to teach and how we must beware of false teaching. The scripture is clear that woman are more easily influenced and thus must take care of the logos and pathos of their “teachers”

    Grace to you

    Chad,

    I am glad to see everything is going well for you. I was in the area of fruitland the other week and I remembered those days in the pit. I am glad the Lord has brought you a long way. Take care and God bless and I hope we can get in contact soon.

    When will we hear from Chadwick again? Seven days without a post from Cowboy makes one W-E-A-K!!!
    Why does Chadwick always wear that white polo church when a picture is made…same shirt…with John Piper in Spartanburg,S.C.Is white his colour?Is Chadwick a “Pipet?
    Why did Chadwick ride only Bareback Broncs(little ponies)and not Brama bulls in his rodeo days?Is he a “girly man?”
    Just wondering,
